  Hi all.

  A friend has many many GIF pictures on his Mac II hard drive.  He can write
them to HFS disks.  Any one know if I can read them from my GS?  The drives are
the same, so the possibility is certainly there.

  I have heard that there isa program called Apple File Exchange that might do
it, mentioned in my ALPE docs.  Unfortunately, I have not ever been able to log
onto ALPE.  I think the school phones are messing up the connection.  Any know
if this will work?

  I am hoping that we will see an HFS FST for GS/OS someday soon, but I have
one question: would the finder be able to read HFS format disks under those
conditions, perhaps transparent to the user?

  Thanks in advance to those who reply to this or the earlier questions.

                                        Scott
